History is one of my two loves in an academic sense and part of my psyche in an intellectual sense, so it was a genuine pleasure to view these photographs, Wind.

Visiting places such as Rasnov Fortress makes the past real and brings the people who lived before me back to life. I would hope to walk the streets there someday, touch the ruins and breathe the air so that it would become part of me.

Hi Wind, wonderful set of images full of history and character. Great door, window and street compositions and I love that colour texture on the castle wall. With all that walking up the hill, it's a shame you couldn't find a seat to rest your legs although I am imagining that the last image is a fold away seat !!Have a great weekend... I'm away, not too far though.... conference, regards, J

Hi Wind,Thank you for your thoughtful comment on my blog.Wow, you captured the beautiful place in such a fantastic photos. Are they HDR? If so, it's a fantastic tone mapping works!!! I am a big fan of HDR photo, although I am still learning!Have a wonderful weekend.Yoshi

This is SUPERB Wind. What a wonderful serie with adventures and one naughty ghost included perhaps. ;)And a plus since me, like many others, love castles and old fortress.I am still building my own castle, palace or fortress, or the three perhaps =) And it will be an unsurpassable one, as it will be a castle i will carry with me all of the time.

Inside me as a matter of fact ;)I am sure you got the point.

Have a wonderful weekend dear Daliana, and fly so much as free as the wind.
